An Intimate and Thrilling Whale Watching Experience
Prepare for an unforgettable ocean adventure! With a maximum of just 20 passengers onboard, you will enjoy the ultimate personalised whale watching experience. Say goodbye to crowded decks and long boarding times, and hello to front-row, uninterrupted views of these majestic creatures. 🐋
Our state-of-the-art vessel, ‘Kraken’, is a custom-built Woody Marine Rib powered by an impressive 1200-horsepower engine. Designed similarly to offshore rescue vessels, it combines speed, safety, and high-back comfort to get you out to the open ocean quickly. This means less travel time and far more time spent marvelling at the whales! 🚀
Our expert skippers provide entertaining and informative commentary as you witness breathtaking breaches, spectacular tail slaps, spy hops, and peduncle throws. It simply doesn’t get any better than this. 🌊
